Cool ARP Wheel Studs

I am researching a cheaper alternative to the Nismo or Kyo-Ei wheel studs and I am calling ARP tomorrow and seeing if they will create a limited production run of studs for our cars

i searched and saw that people used ones for a honda or camaro, which i don't get because the knurl for an s14 is .563" in front and a .511" in the rears, the camaro studs have a .509" which concerns me because if i were to put these on the knurls will eventually strip out, plus you'd have to use honda lugnuts (12x1.5)

If i can get these lug nuts they would probably be half the price of nismo studs, has anyone tried this or would anyone be interested if i could get them made?

My friend used the .509's in his car and they were fine. I've got them for the rear and haven't installed them yet. I'll let you know how it goes once I do.

For the Fronts I used .560 knurl Moroso studs. You sure you've got the front knurl diameter right? I had to grind the knurl down slightly on my moroso's to get em to fit.

i took the measurements from the nismo studs where it says the serration is 13x36T for the rears, 13mm converts to .511

serration for the rear is 14.3x36T, or 0.5629921
